This is a WYSIWYG coral, meaning the coral shown in the photo is the exact piece you will receive.

Quick Care Summary

• Lighting: Low to moderate lighting
• Flow: Low to moderate indirect flow
• Placement: Lower to middle reef areas
• Temperament: Semi-aggressive
• Care Level: Moderate

Lighting

Provide low to moderate lighting. Acclimate gradually and avoid sudden increases in intensity to help this coral adjust without unnecessary stress.

Flow

Use low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle, varied movement helps keep debris from settling while avoiding the direct, aggressive flow this fleshy LPS coral does not need.

Placement

Place it in a lower to middle reef area with moderate spacing from nearby corals. Introduce it gradually to its final lighting and water movement.

Temperament

Allow room around this semi-aggressive coral. Maintain spacing from neighboring corals to reduce the chance of contact and stinging issues as polyps expand.

Feeding

Feeding is optional, but occasional small meaty foods can be offered when practical. Keep portions modest and observe the coral's response.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and make changes slowly. Watch polyp extension, tissue appearance, and debris accumulation, then adjust placement or flow gradually rather than making sudden changes to lighting or water movement.

Give it stable conditions, gentle acclimation, and adequate room from neighboring corals.
